Fluorine-Fluorite prospect · Malheur County, Oregon
discovered 1967
Drawn as an open-pit mine, dug down in benches from the surface. The ore color stands for fluorine-fluorite. Federal records note the kind of operation and its status, not its depth or layout, so this is a typical example rather than a survey of this site.
